Return to the Articles of Confederation.

Hobble and muzzle the beast.

Starve it into weakness.

Just like a fish, given food and space, it'll just keep growing.

When we believed we might trust those who, like remoras, fed on its leavings to restrain it, were we ever wrong.

What's the fix? When we get mad enough to do something about it it might get fixed. That may never happen.

3rd Amendment: alive

Is it really? Seems that with all the efforts at mandating various intrusion devices (which, while inanimate, are still agents of the state) the Third Amendment is pretty well dying as well.

The death of the 2nd killed the rest. There is no fix. Live out your life and hang on to what you can. Some day we will look back on a USA that was free and strong and lament.

Nothing recent about this death. Step outside your house and there is no 4th Amendment.
